Late at night, Zhuge Liang led a heavy battalion to Shouzhang, and at the same time brought the news that Zhai Ya had conquered Dongpinglu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Wuyan City is surrounded, and Cai Yang can't hold on for long." Li Yi said to Zhuge Liang, "Order Zhai Yu and let him bring five thousand iron horsemen to Shouzhanglai and take Shouzhangcheng immediately." ”

Li Yi's hand pointed to Juye City on the map, and continued: "After Zhai Yu takes Shouzhang, let him rush to Juye immediately, encircle it, and wait to join Zhang Yan and Bian Xi's army. The siege of the city was handed over to Zhang Yan and Bian Xi, and the iron cavalry should not forcibly attack the city. ”

"The lord wants to gallop five hundred miles south to surround Changyi?" Zhuge Liang asked excitedly.

"Yes, I'll go south to Changyi immediately. It has been six days since the army crossed the river......" Li Yi looked up at the night outside the tent, "No, it's already the seventh day." Cao Ren, who was stationed on the front line of Dingtao and Changyi, had plenty of time to strengthen the city defenses and deploy troops, and if it dragged on any longer, it would be more difficult for the army to attack Dingtao and Changyi. ”

"After the iron cavalry arrived in Changyi, they surrounded Changyi, cut off the connection between Dingtao and Changyi, cut off all reinforcements and grain, grass and ordnance to support Changyi, and then moved along the Surabaya River to the line of Peiguo in Yuzhou and Pengcheng in Xuzhou, waiting for an opportunity to attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who came back from Jianghuai to the north." Li Yi's hand slowly moved south from Changyi City on the map, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army is in a hurry to come back, and they must march day and night, tired, and will be unprepared for us." At this time, if we can inflict heavy losses on Cao Cao and Liu Bei and delay their speed in rescuing Yanzhou, we will give the left and right armies more time to attack Dingtao and Changyi. Whether or not we can take these two cities is of great importance to us to stabilize the front line at Dingtao and Changyi, and to consolidate and stabilize most of the counties and counties of Yanzhou that we occupy. ”

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Lord, you are hurrying south with the iron horse, and there is no time to supply the grain and grass. From here to the south to Changyi, all along the way are the great plains, there is no city barrier, the speed of the iron horse will be very fast, I can not transport the grain and grass baggage to the city of Changyi in time, there is no way, unless the wings fly. ”

Li Yi frowned, and said to Zhuge Liang: "You march day and night with the people and grain and grass, and you have to keep up no matter what." I asked Zhai Ya to lead the army with you to protect the safety of the grain route along the way. ”

"Lord, the soldiers need to eat, the horses need forage, even if you bring enough dry food and horse food, and even let the iron cavalry army burn and plunder along the road, but you still can't guarantee the combat effectiveness of the army. Don't forget, you are carrying a Hu people, an iron horse of a different race, and once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to persuade, "My lord, although time is extremely precious to us, at this moment, it is the first priority to fight steadily and ensure the safety of the army. Only if there are no problems in the army can this battle be fought and won. ”

"I have calculated carefully, as long as you keep moving at a speed of eighty miles every day, by the time I lead my army to Changyi, there will be a difference of three days between us at most. In other words, as long as I bring 5,000 more horses to carry grain and horse feed, I can ensure that the army lasts for six days. Li Yi waved his hand and smiled, "If you don't have confidence, I will let Xun You lead the heavy battalion, and you will go to the back to replace Xun You to allocate grain and grass to the various armies, how about it?" ”

Zhuge Liang's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, lord." Within six days, I will definitely rush to the city of Changyi to meet you. ”

………………

Langya County, Xuzhou, Jucheng.

Late at night, the Shushui River is bathed in a pale moonlight, elegant and tranquil.

Zhu Ling stood on the embankment of the river, and in the hazy moonlight, quietly watched the army quietly kill towards the Qingzhou army camp.

Suddenly, the drums beat in all directions, and a crack was torn open in the night.

"Enemy sneak attack...... Sneak attack ......" The mournful shout resounded throughout the night, and the Qingzhou military camp immediately exploded like a frying pan.

The camp of the Qingzhou army is very simple, I don't know if there are not enough supplies or the leader of the Qingzhou army himself is a reckless man who can't read big words, this camp has no gate, no fence, no deer, not even tents, the only thing that can resist the enemy's surprise attack is all kinds of dilapidated vehicles in a circle, but because there are few vehicles, and there are too many Qingzhou soldiers, the camp occupies too much area, and this obstacle is also useless.

What is even more unimaginable is that there is not a single bonfire in the entire camp. The officers and men of the Qingzhou Army were lying on the grass and sleeping soundly, completely unaware that Liu Beijun, who was close at hand, would take advantage of the night to sneak attack.

Zhu Ling is very familiar with this situation, these Qingzhou troops are similar to the Yellow Turban Army, they are all some rabble. And Zhu Ling followed Liu Bei as early as the Zhongping period, and many veterans in his army fought with the Yellow Turban Army for more than ten years, and knew the habits of the Yellow Turban Army well.

Because the Qingzhou army was extremely short of supplies and too many people, it was rare to be able to set up a decent battalion. However, it is the first time that even a few bonfires have been lit like today.

Considering that the Qingzhou army has recently harassed the cities of Dongguan and Dong'an between the Shushui River and the Yishui River in order to seize Jucheng, it is understandable that the soldiers are exhausted and neglect to take precautions.

When the drum beat protruded, and a team of Liu Bei soldiers roared out of the darkness, the Qingzhou soldiers were terrified, crying for their fathers and mothers, and the wolves rushed and scattered.

Liu Beijun's morale was like a rainbow, and his roar was like thunder, and he followed the fleeing soldiers and advanced rapidly, intending to enter the Chinese army, smash the key parts of the Qingzhou army, and destroy the command of the Qingzhou army in one go, so as to quickly gain battlefield superiority and completely defeat the Qingzhou army.

The large camp of the Qingzhou Army stretched north along the west bank of the Shushui River, a distance of four or five miles.

In the darkness of the night, the cries of fear were deafening, countless fugitives ran for their lives in the darkness, and the painful cries of the stumbled were trampled into a blur of flesh and blood by the crazy feet in the blink of an eye.

Due to the big river on one side and the overwhelming Liu Bei army on the other, the fugitives of the Qingzhou army could not distinguish the direction in the dark night, so they could only turn around and flee to the rear of the camp. The longer you run, the denser the crowd becomes, and the slower your speed.

Liu Beijun's soldiers were under the command of dense war drums, and their speed was getting faster and faster. In order to crush the Qingzhou Army's Chinese army as quickly as possible, Liu Beijun gave up archery and instead pursued it with a dense shock array.

"Knock...... Knock ......"

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound of war drums in the night, and the huge drums jumped into the air like thunder, shaking the mountains and fields, sounding particularly terrifying in the dark night.

Immediately following the thrilling sound of the drums, a burst of flames suddenly rose from the dark night sky, instantly illuminating a small hillside.

On the hillside, an iron knight sat on a horse, holding aloft a battle flag, like a black sculpture, and stood still.

The banner danced wildly in the wind, and a fierce murderous aura rushed to the face in an instant, enveloping the entire battlefield.

The escapees of the Qingzhou Army shouted in unison, the cheers swept through the night like a tide, and the rushing flow of people was like a flood that burst the embankment, and suddenly it leaked down, facing the big banner and the flames that rose in the air, and roared away.

The moon in the sky was frightened by the bloody battlefield, and hurriedly hid in the thick clouds.

Zhu Ling suddenly reined in the galloping war horse and looked into the depths of darkness with his eyes.

This banner, this flame, this night full of murderous aura and weirdness, made Zhu Ling suddenly feel a strong uneasiness, and a thick aura of death went straight into his heart with the cold river wind.

Liu Beijun's soldiers were indomitable, and the sound of killing penetrated the night and rushed straight to Xiaohan.

"Beat the drum, rush in, rush into the ......" Zhu Ling snorted coldly, raised his sword high, and roared wildly, "Kill ......"

………………

With the big banner and flames pointing out the direction, the escape speed of the Qingzhou sergeants suddenly accelerated, and everyone shouted hoarsely at this moment, running quickly in the northwest direction.

Under the command of the drums, Liu Beijun's impact array was more dense, and the army was like a soaring dragon, waving its claws, twisting its huge and strong body, and opening its bloody mouth towards the helpless prey, just waiting for the moment to be devoured.

The two teams were one after the other, the distance was getting closer and closer, and at the moment when Liu Beijun's big mouth was about to bite down, the heavens and the earth suddenly trembled, and the more violent and passionate war drums rose to the sky, and then the night let out a terrible howl, the thick black curtain was shattered in an instant, and piles of dazzling firelight erupted suddenly, instantly illuminating the battlefield hundreds of steps wide and illuminating the surging Shushui River.

Zhu Ling was shocked and used all his strength to strangle the horse's reins. The war horse let out a long mournful hiss in pain, a pair of flying front legs were raised high, and the sturdy body almost stood upright.

Running wildly all the way, Liu Beijun's soldiers, who were already out of breath and crumbling, were hit hard, and their rushing feet slowed down, and their murderous shouts suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, apart from the heavy wheezing sound on the battlefield, only piles of violently burning flames were emitting a shocking roar.

The drums beat again......

………………

Under the blazing flames, a huge attack battle array stood mightily in the field, densely packed, and there was no end in sight.

The heavily armed soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang stood solemnly, the sharp weapons in their hands emitting a cold light under the reflection of the firelight.

At the front of the battle array, two hundred crossbow carts took off the linoleum covering their bodies, revealing hideous ugly faces.

Gao Shun stood on the embankment in the distance, holding a gun in one hand, raising it high in the other, and then swung it down heavily.

"Let it go...... Let go of ......" Li Yi raised his sword and roared wildly, "Give me ......"

"Boom...... Boom......" Two hundred ballistae roared in unison.

"Whew...... Whew...... "A thousand strong archers shot the long arrows in their hands.

In an instant, the arrows rained down, like a raging storm, and shot at Liu Beijun, who was at a loss.

The screams suddenly resounded on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
